picture me waitin'

here

this is Bristol

I am not from here

not really

this place where

the

Women of Desperation

dwell

this

is

hell

I am not that woman

I keep telling myself

I am not needy and desperate and

well, lonely...

like you are the last slice of  apple pie

at the Applewood Diner

like I can't find gravy fries & cheese elsewhere???

I did, in Canada & Vegas

but

the gravy wasn't as tasty

had a totally different flavor

and

the cheese wasn't as smooth

either too clumpy or too runny

so

I'll run back here

to boring ass Bristol

and

go to the diner

the waiter

like a drug dealer

knows I tried to escape

but

guess who's back?

Yeah, I'll go to the diner

sit with a half smile

order

"gravy fries and cheese please"

and wait

to savor

them again

I know there

is some diner chef

somewhere dammit

that can hook up some

of these fries

but until

I find him

I better

just do what the

Desperate Woman of Bristol do

keep waitin'

keep lookin'

keep sharin'

while forkin'

and accepting applications

from Diner Chefs

without resumes

from Diner Chefs

who want to

just season the meat

yet not truly tastin'

the goods

and

the goodness

picture me waitin'

here

amongst or even with

The Desperate Women of Bristol

waitin'

until just one

has the nerve

to be

about

solamente uno

Gravy Fries & Cheese!

Pick it up!

I take my fries to go!
